Dear ONE:

The recent issues of ONE Magazine, the QUARTERLY and CONFI are all up to their high standard. Congratulations for finally cracking a foundation. May this be the first of many.
Gentlemen:
Rev. P.

Ever since I received from you a notice. that my introductory subscription to the Magazine was expiring I have been determined not to resubscribe. I had been successful in maintaining that determination until I saw your April issue. The issue is magnificent! The stories are excellent. James Colton is one, of your better writers and I hope you will be able to persuade him to contribute more frequently to your story pages than he has in the past.
I would appreciate any bac kissues of ONE Confidential that you would care send me. I am twenty-three and don't have too much money.
Dear Editor:

The column "Private VS. Publicly Supported Colleges" in the "Tangents" section of ONE (Feb. 65) held special interest for me. I attend a private college which receives most of its financial aid from student tuition and church donations. Not only is it a private school but a "religious" one as well. I thoroughly agree with the statement in "Tangents" which says that most private colleges do not and have not allowed honest research on controversial matters. In fact, at this particular college homosexuality is discouraged at every turn. The outlook of the faculty and administration on such matters is highly puritanical. This does not mean, however, that homosexuality does not exist here. Rather, there is a surprising number of homosexuals on campus. Each and every one, needless to say, must be careful and present a false public image. Otherwise, there is severe ridicule. After putting up with this for two years, I am ready to go elsewhere. A larger, public college, it seems, would not discriminate as much as a small, private college. Perhaps because each student is obscure in the masses of people. I am interested in reading what others in private colleges have to say about this matter. Thank you for the opportunity for such things to be expressed. Keep up the good work at ONE. Mr. T.
Dear ONES:
Orange, California
How I wish I lived close enough to town that I could help you with some of your
work. Your holding out as long as you have shows rare acumen. I've seen perhaps half a dozen preiodicals fail in the past thirty. or forty years; and I think you are exceptionally successful in striking the right note. Incidentally I miss my guess if you are not having the time of your lives. It is not all of us who are privileged to participate in significant endeavors.
Gentlemen:

I beieve you are performing a most worthwhile and necessary work. There are many of the activities of ONE which I would join in actively if I lived in your area. Also, the idea of your Tours to Europe fascinates me a good deal and if you cohtinue these I will hope to go next year.
I look forward to, and am sure you people feel the same way, to the day when all large cities of this country are supporting branches of ONE. Detroit being the fifth largest city could well support such a venture if it were possible to get the right people interested.
Dear ONE:
Mr. S. Detroit, Michigan
This is a wonderful place. Went on a city tour Monday and to a very enjoyable party given by the local homophile group Monday night. Yesterday another one of the ONE European Tour members and I went on a spending spree in the morning and walked miles in the afternoon just photographing statues. In the evening we went to the famous Tivoli Gardens.

Dear Mr. Legg: and friends:
Your kind letter was quite a shock to me. It sure looks like a crazy stunt. I hope that privacy will not be violated. What a nice Easter greeting for you fellows. Be sure and change the locks on the office and get a night watchman.
Dear Bill:
Mr. J.

I surely am confident in the manner in which ONE has grown and of your personal worth and steadfastness. I shall continue to support modestly financially and totally psychically all that you are doing and have done so well. I hope all others that have been close to your work will do the same. Mr. B.
